This book is about preparing yourself for the tremor of civie street, facing loneliness, loss of a spouse and watching your children migrate abroad, losing interest in the assets you created for them and falling prey to the rigors of the TWILIGHT ZONE -that time in life when all sorts of problems beset your health . You look forward to old friends who look out for you and virtually become your new relatives! A story about the oldies, humour respect and resilience to prevent the vagaries of age to disrupt their twilight years!The book also discusses the prevailing situation in the country and the views of the oldies on matters national and international from the baracudda baboos to the fate of the national carrier and General VK Singh!

SOLJER SOLJER is a story based on an imaginary infantry battalion of the Third Gorkha Rifles - the sixth battalion. The composition, training, camaraderie, duties in all the other infantry battalions of our Army is almost the same except that certain customs undergo a change as they adopt to the ethnicity of the troops in that Regiment. So the visible changes would be the manner of the battle cry, salutation, greeting, decorum in festivity with the troops, or ceremonials in the Officer's mess.
